I've disabled FF_FULLBRIGHT for now, it looks like we need some kind of config file for brightmaps, like this: https://github.com/NightFright2k19/gzdoom_brightmaps/blob/master/bmplus_vanilla/brightmaps/sprites/doom2.bm

FF_FULLBRIGHT is just a flag that we can remove or set at will, depending on the presence of a brightmap for the sprite. However, we should keep a copy if we want to allow in-game toggle. 🤔
So far, only the sprites are working.

That's 261 pointers per sprite, even if no brightmaps are ever loaded. Should we turn this into dynamic allocation?

Sure, this is temporary, for simplification. By the way, I'm not sure if the frames/rotations are working correctly.

I think I don't quite get this part. If we transform brightmap PNGs to grayscale, why do we need a lookup table for this?

We map brightmap colors to "light levels". The grayscale table corresponds to colormaps.

Ah! Maybe that's worth a comment here. 😉

Since I made (or, to some degree, collected) these brightmaps: If you guys need any help or adjustments for this from my side, feel free to poke me. Also: If you think it sucks to have monsters with glowing eyes (which kinda gives them away in dark areas and therefore sort of affects gameplay), I may find new motivation to create an alternate version. |
Thanks. We are currently planning to convert Woof's existing brightmaps to PNG format, as we know who made them and they are minimalist, so there won't be any copyright issues. |

woof -file brighmaps.zipIt seems GZDoom brightmaps are too subtle.
